Postgraduate Students Recruitment（香港中文大学（深圳）纳米光电子组研究生招生）
Applications for 2023 Fall Admission is now open!
We are continuously recruiting students in two majors at SSE as followings:
1. Computer and Information Engineering (CIE):
https://sse-mphil-phd.cuhk.edu.cn/en/basic/281
2. Materials Science and Engineering (MSE):
https://sse-mphil-phd.cuhk.edu.cn/en/basic/395
[Requirements]
(a) To qualify as a Ph.D. student, you must meet the following requirements:
1. The applicant should hold, or expect to hold by the time of admission, a bachelor's or master’s degree in optoelectronics, electronic engineering, physics, optics, materials, mechanical engineering or a closely related field.
2. We only accept the applicant whose bachelor's degree is from 985 university or prestigious university overseas with a GPA higher than 80/100 or 3.2/4.0. Students from 211 university with strong ability are also considered.
3. Applicants with cross-field academic backgrounds, programming experience (Python or MATLAB) or excellent experimental ability are strongly preferred.
4. The position requires good communication skills and a high level of written English. Applicants who do not speak English as their mother tongue need to provide documentations of good communication skills in English, typically evidenced by an English language test, for example TOEFL 550 (paper-based)/TOEFL 79 (internet-based)/IELTS Band 6.5. You must submit your English test scores before the time of admission.
(b) To qualify as a M.Phil. student, you have to meet the same requirements as those for Ph.D. applicants, while the requirements for GPA and educational backgrounds can be appropriately lowered. Please note that applicants with a master's degree cannot apply.
[Application Procedure]
If you feel interested in our research, please send the following materials to the email address huhualing@cuhk.edu.cn with the title <Postgraduate Application + Your Name>:
1. CV (including GPA & rankings; in English or Chinese),
2. transcript (bachelor's and master's, if any),
3. publication list (PDF format, if applicable).
After Prof. Zhang confirms, you may apply for the postgraduate program on the SSE website (mention the instructor's name):

[Group Introduction]
Nano Optoelectronics Group (NOEL) has three main research areas involving novel monolithic semiconductor laser devices on silicon, optimization of nanophotonic structures using artificial intelligence, and organic optoelectronic devices. The lab focuses on the device fabrication based on the cutting-edge material provided by our cooperative research groups from University College London, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and etc. We have the capability of fabricating and testing various devices, which includes core III/V fabrication tools (such as mask aligner, inductively coupled plasma etcher (ICP), oxidation furnaces), photoluminescence and electroluminescence testing system with spectral range from visible to MIR(mid-infrared spectroscopy) and with temperature range from 3K to room temperature, ultrafast optical measurement system with femtosecond laser and streak camera, organic devices fabrication and testing tools (thermal evaporation system, EQE measurement system) and solar simulator. Currently, there are 10 members in the lab (PI, 1 engineer, 2 research fellows, 4 PHD candidates and 1 research assistants). Our research results have been published on various high impact journals such as Nature Communications, Nano Lett., Appl. Phys. Lett., Appl. Phys. A, Opt. Express, AIP Adv. and RSC Adv..
[FAQ]
1. Degree：
The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
2. Ph.D. studying period:
4-5 years; 4 years for students with a master's degree of the same major; 5 years for students with a bachelor's degree; NOEL encourages outstanding Ph.D. students to graduate ahead of time; In 2020, the first Ph.D. student ZHOU Taojie (graduated from Nankai University with a bachelor's degree in physics) applied for early graduation with 7 articles (including Nat. Com.).
3. Careers of the Ph.D. graduates:
The research field of NOEL is the optical chip which is urgently needed by the country. After graduation, the employment is aimed at internationally renowned semiconductor chip companies. The outstanding ones may have a chance to get a faculty position in CUHKSZ.
4. Is a M.Phil. program able to be transformed into a Ph.D. program?
A M.Phil. student with outstanding scientific research outputs can be transformed to a Ph.D. at the end of the first or the second year.
5. How many Ph.D. and M.Phil. positions in the group are there?
The number of positions is not allocated by the Ministry of Education, so there is no limit. Currently, the group plans to recruit 3-4 Ph.D. students and several M.Phil. students every year.
6. What should I do if my English scores are not available before the deadline of application?
If you do not obtain the required English scores before the deadline of application, you may postpone the submission and submit it before admission. Students studying in English-taught countries are exempt from English scores.
